I have an alt there! I might have to come stalk... err I mean visit, yeah visit~! :3

Meep! *comfles* Well, I just managed to make one on Balmung so it's definetly not impossible. So many people just sitting around and hanging out on this server - I thought mine was pretty active, but there's people EVERYWHERE here!

Managed to get an alt on, where abouts is the house?

I made a character on Balmung (L'yhan Nunh - same name as me!). It's amazing - you can now create characters with the new hairstyles! I just saved my character data and remade the exact same character. I am in Limsa!
Even though Balmung was greyed out to say you couldn't make a character there, I still tried and it let me first go. So, just give it an attempt!

(Is there a FC house it will be held at / or will it be held at like amp theater etc?)

For everyone wondering about the FC house in Balmung!!

First off ill start off by saying welcome to balmung!! We hope you enjoy your stay here!!


Rongi and I are currently located at MIST ward 6 plot 5 and you are all more then welcome to join the FC! If you find yourself stranded by Uldah or Gridania please let me know and i will invite you to the fc and you can tele straight to mist!

For a invite please look for Kyri Sagitta, Mackayla Lane, Ciara Snow, Minato Namikaze, Rongi, or anyone sporting the melons fc logo! The fc is open application too so if you can't find anyone click Melons fc, and submit a application and ill be sure to add you!

Though Tyriont is located in TALE HQ in goblet Ill ask that we refrain from meeting there too often and TALE is our RP orientated FC and might not understand whats going on. Due to a large RP story arc happening people might feel like TALE is a bit closed off so if anyone went there and felt unwelcome please understand not to take it personally, its a RP story arc and they likely think you are alts or other people taking part in it!


But yes if you find yourself joining balmung or wanting to please use this thread

For your stay feel free to enjoy the house, the beach, coconut rum in the sand or my personal bedroom as a home away from home while you are away. (forgive construction going around in the house! i just recently took over the FC and am doing some remodeling^^ Id love tips and ideas on how you did yours or things you like about your fc's house^^)

P.s: Yes my names really here! proof!

Suggestion: When listing the model's pictures at the beginning of each round, mix them up. Listing them in alphabetical order can place unfair disadvantages or advantages on people who get the first or last spot on the list each week. Example: If you've already seen 4 that you want to vote on, anybody that is after those 4 will need to be considerably better to knock one of those four off your list. If the list is randomized each week, this disadvantage won't be placed on one person each time so it makes it a little more fair overall.

Hi everyone ;3,



Everyone's shots are so creative this week. I think Rongi said it himself, but this was probably one of the best rounds of ENTM ever @~@. There were two though this week which were my personal favorites! Lowena's Poison Ivy is near perfect, imo, with her character looking sexy and evil with a setting and atmosphere that matches perfectly :O. The other was L'yhan's, your shot was very creative using the water to your advantage to mask your legs and the shot just makes me smile ;3.

After seeing all of these I wish I had been able to spend more time on the creative side of my shot and coming up with another idea. I ended up picking based only what I liked as opposed to what would be more recognizable ^^;. Anyhow I'd like to show some of the behind the scenes and thought process behind my shot.

My initial idea was to do Katarina with Ninja now available. I had a difficult time finding an outfit that would match her original look, so I ended up picking her Bilgewater skin. This created some problems as I wasn't able to use any of the games Tricorne yet. So I was rushing to level NIN to 44 and ended up getting it there Tuesday night leaving me only Wednesday and Thursday to take the shots /panic. It was also very jarring for me to use the Aesthetician as I had never changed my characters appearance since the start of 2.0. My hair style had never changed since 1.0 alpha as well ><.



I wanted to emulate the splash art closely as possible initially, but I ended up running into issues with the two boats available to us. The LL one had too many NPCs and the Wolves Den one had a lot of clutter on it. I ended up picking the Wolves Den one because I thought he NPCs would be too distracting and it had a little more beat up / worn down feel to it.



Initially I took placeholder shots to figure out how I wanted to frame it. Once I found the spot I wanted, I got a few friends to help set up the lightning and adding smoke to the picture using Ninja's Hide.



When we started adding in a lot of smoke it became difficult to see me in the picture.




I wanted to make sure I was clear even with the smoke, so we ended up using about 4 Sun minions to light me up @~@.



I originally wanted the weather to be foggy, but it felt very unappealing to me with all the clouds and smoke created.



So I ended up mixing the clear skies with some smoke for what I thought was a little bit more appealing ;3

I can't wait for the round this week, I'm a lot less worried about this coming shot then my cosplay one ('-'*)

[TheRogueX]

I went to log my Balmung alt on.. and.. um... server's full. lol
